We’re just getting started...

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, The polls just closed here in Maine and, like you, we are settling in to watch the returns from here and from around the country. But no matter who claims victory on Super Tuesday, we will wake up tomorrow and continue our work to build the infrastructure ne…

Isn't it supposed to be March!?

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Leap years are amazing. Every four years you get a bonus day! It’s like the Olympics or the World Cup...except with time, and everyone wins! We have had an incredible February, with more people joining our fight to defeat Collins than ever before. But we sti…

A personal request

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, These are trying times. Politics from Washington and beyond are marked by rancor, divisiveness and fear. Partisan fighting paralyzes the nation’s capital. But here in Maine, we are doing what Mainers have done for more than two centuries: putting our shoulde…

Accountability

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Something that has been on my mind lately is accountability. I’m in recovery -- I’ve been sober from alcohol for more than 30 years. And in order to stay sober, I have to consistently hold myself accountable for my own actions, and own up when I have fallen …

250 Days

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, 250 days. That’s all the time we have before the election on November 3. How will you use those days? I can tell you that the Maine Dems are using each one of those days to knock on doors, talk to voters, and work to make sure we defeat Donald Trump and Susa…

elect a clown, get a circus

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, It seems like every day Donald Trump finds new ways to make a mockery of the Office of the Presidency.  We elected a clown, and we got a circus. Susan Collins loves to talk about how “concerned” and “disappointed” she is with the President...but Donald Trump…

Trump's lessons

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, After voting to acquit Donald Trump, Susan Collins said she believed that he learned his lesson. Well, here is what we know Trump has learned since Susan Collins made that statement. He learned that he can fire a Purple Heart recipient from his White House p…

NEW POLL: Collins' numbers in free fall

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, A new poll from Colby College shows Senator Susan Collins “hemorrhaging women voters” and losing in a head to head match-up against a potential Democratic challenger. The poll also found Collins’ favorability 12 points underwater among respondents, with 54% …

A new low, Barr (Or -- A new low bar)

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, You may not realize this, but it was exactly a year ago when Susan Collins helped to confirm William Barr as Donald Trump’s Attorney General. The last year has been a wild ride for Barr -- clashing with Robert Mueller, ignoring a congressional subpoena, bein…

Trump's Candidate

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, When asked recently if she supports Donald Trump's re-election, Susan Collins refused to publicly answer. Does Susan Collins support Trump? Let’s check the record: According to Congressional Quarterly, she votes with him 94% of the time. She was a key vote …

Hey, Senator Collins...has Trump learned his lesson, yet?

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Last week, Senator Collins justified her vote to acquit Donald Trump by saying that she “believe[s] that the president has learned from this case.” Let’s see. Since then Donald Trump has: Again claimed that it was a “perfect call” and that he did “nothing w…

The Senate let Trump off. Here's how to help flip it...

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and the rest of the GOP Senate Majority let Donald Trump off. Sure he committed the crime, they say, but maybe he learned his lesson… We don’t think Donald Trump has learned anything. It’s clear that there will be no accountab…

🚨 BREAKING: Collins votes to clear Trump. Lets Us Down AGAIN.

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Susan Collins just voted to acquit Donald Trump. We’re tired of having Senator Collins pull the rug out from under us, and we know you are too. It’s time for us to find a Senator that will stand up for those she represents, not cower before McConnell and Tru…

I still can’t believe it

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, I knew it was coming. It doesn’t make it any easier. Susan Collins alleges herself a moderate...somehow I thought she would be above this. I hoped that maybe - just maybe - she would see this Moment of Conscience and do more than wave as it passed her by. Sh…

BREAKING: Susan Collins just announced she would acquit Donald Trump

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, I just saw Susan Collins announce on the floor of the Senate that she would vote to acquit Donald Trump - the most corrupt President in history. This is unacceptable. It’s clear we cannot trust our democracy to the Republican Senate majority. We must defeat …

Susan Collins: Only a moderate when it doesn't count.

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Susan Collins voted with Mitch McConnell ten times to block documents and witness testimony at the beginning of the trial. Ten times. But once the outcome of the vote to authorize witnesses was doomed to fail, Mitch McConnell gave Collins the chance to prete…

Collins gets a hall pass

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Instead of fighting for evidence and witness testimony from the beginning, Susan Collins voted with Mitch McConnell ten times to block documents and witness testimony at the beginning of the trial, threw cold water on including vital new evidence, and waited…

A moderate wouldn't...

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Susan Collins desperately wants you to think she is a “moderate”. A moderate wouldn’t have voted 10 times to block witnesses in the impeachment trial. A moderate wouldn’t have confirmed Brett Kavanaugh and put Roe v. Wade at risk. A moderate wouldn’t have he…

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Just imagine if things were a little different right now. Imagine Mitch McConnell not being able to set the rules for a sham trial. Imagine a Senate willing to stand up to Trump and his obstruction. Imagine if Democrats controlled the Senate. Well, this Nove…

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, The voting may happen on November 3rd, but we won’t be able to win unless we organize now! That’s why we launched our campaign to get 2,020 donors to make a gift to the Maine Democratic Party before the end of January. Making a gift now helps us build the gr…

BREAKING: Collins backs McConnell on Witnesses

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Susan Collins is choosing Party over Country. She is choosing Mitch McConnell over her constituents. And she is choosing to protect Donald Trump instead of listening to the people of Maine. Since Susan Collins won’t do her job, it’s time to find someone who …

Yikes, what a week

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, It's official: Susan Collins had a bad week. According to the Morning Consult poll released last night, Susan Collins is the most unpopular Senator in the country -- and that's just the latest development! On Monday, she received a Missing Member Distinction…

Washington Post: "Collins Sounds Like She’s Covering for Trump”

Happy Anniversary, Tax Scam
